The AAT Professional Diploma in Accounting (Level 4) is the most advanced AAT accounting qualification. It's ideal if you have a lot of accounting experience and are looking to become a financial team leader or set up your own practice. It's also the next step from the Advanced Diploma in Accounting.
At this advanced level, you'll cover complex and advanced finance processes and topics. You'll be able to draft financial statements for limited companies, recommend strategy for accounting systems, and build and present complex management accounting reports.
Please note that while this qualification is internationally recognised, its discussion of legislation and policy will be based on UK law.
Once you've passed, you'll automatically become an affiliate AAT member. You'll also be able to achieve internationally-recognised professional MAAT status if you have the right work experience.
There are no deadlines except the end of the generous support period, so you can set your own timetable and work around your current job or family responsibilities. You'll be supported from enrolment to graduation by your AAT expert tutor, our live online classrooms and our dedicated student support team, so you'll have everything you need to succeed.
Once you've completed the AAT Professional Diploma you'll be a fully qualified Accounting Technician. You'll automatically become an affiliate member of AAT, and if you have the relevant work experience you can apply for internationally-recognised professional MAAT status.
You'll be qualified for well-paying senior roles such as:
Senior Finance Officer
Senior Fund Accountant
Senior Insolvency Administrator

Assistant Auditor
Assistant Management Accountant
Accounts Payable and Expenses Supervisor
Payments and Billing Manager
Commercial Analyst
